Manan FF : Two Beauties Of My Life

Chapter 16

Mukti to lighten up the atmosphere : Cabir so tell us how did you find out about Nandini, I mean Niti

Nandini : Mukti you can call me Nandini. It's not like Nandini is not my name. You see even my nick name Nanz is based on Nandini.

Mukti : oh god now what's this new story

Nandini and Navya chuckled

Navya : I'll tell you. Nanz and Yami di's mom was south Indian and father Panjabi. So when both of them were born both their paternal and maternal grandmother's had huge fights on the topic of their names.

Nandini continued the story : so to end the fight my Papa decided that whatever name my paternal grandmother would choose will be my official name in school and on other documents and whatever name my Amms as in maternal grandmother would choose will be the name by which my family and close friends would call me. I know it was weird but that's how my family was. Same was with Yami di so her official name was Yami and unofficial name was Yogini. And my official name Niti and unofficial Nandini. When I had to leave and hide my identity I used my unofficial name as my new name which didn't make me feel alienated this name always gave me feeling like my whole family was there for me. This name had their years of blessings with me.

Navya : So from childhood my family being close to hers I used to call her Nandini and in college it became Nanz. hence when Cabir told me that he found a girl who looks like Niti and her name is Nandini I immediately decided to come to India to see her.

Cabir : and you all were calling me idiot. You all blamed my web series and what not but see I'm right. I found out her real identity.

Mukti in bored tone : Yes yes Cabir you are very intelligent and smart. Now happy ?

Cabir jumping in joy : very

All smiled at them

Dhruv : but still Cabir we want to know whole story. How did you do it ?

Cabir : well as you know Navya and I are in relationship from last 6 and half years so for almost 1 and half years Nandini was with navya and I had seen her and talked to her on video calls, in just one year of time I became close with her. And if you guys have forgotten Almost in every pic that navya would post on any social networking site Nandini would be always in them. So I was totally familiar with her pic and even after she left Navya in all these 5 years never stopped talking about her.

And that day in party when I first saw her, her face just clicked in my mind though her short blond hair was turned into long black, her fat and chubby baby avatar was turned a grownup slim beautiful girl. That girl had stopped calling me Cabir Bhai and she looked totally different and distant girl but still my heart was not ready to listen so I investigated further and Ram Uncle also helped me and I finally found out that this was the same small girl who would always fight with me over video call that whom does Navya love more ? Her or me.

Nandini again had tears in her eyes : I'm sorry Cabir Bhai

Cabir quickly pulled her in hug. His eyes also became moist due to tears. Navya on the other hand was also busy in wiping out her tears.

Fab5 smiled seeing their bond.

Navya went to sit on Kia's bed and her hand collided with the chart, the chart which had kia's health report fell on ground.

Navya bent down to pick up the chart and that's when her eyes fell on a line on the chart. Her eyes widened in shock.

She read it carefully for 2-3 times and then smirked.

Navya in a teasing tone : Nanzzzzzz

Nandini who was now chatting with Cabir turned her head towards navya.

Nandini : What now Navu

Navya : for How many months does a mother carry a baby in her womb ?

Nandini : seriously you want to play quiz here.

Navya : No no I mean may be I got some wrong information. You have given birth to a beautiful child you must be knowing exact time no ? So tell me how many months ?

Cabir gave navya 'are you mad look'

Cabir : Baby what are you talking about. It's 1 am and you are asking such questions ? may you are having jet lag let's go I'll drop you home. Take rest and come tomorrow.

Navya : No Cabir I'm perfectly fine just that someone told me mother carries baby in her womb for nine months. It's wrong number so I'm asking Nandini the exact number that's it

Fab5 gave Navya 'are you crazy' look

Navya : see guys I exactly know the date of Nanz's departure from US. If we count from that day till today it will be 5 years two months duration. Kia's health report here shows that Kia is 5 years 1 month old. When Nanz left from US she was most definitely not pregnant. Then how on earth Nanz you have given birth to a baby in just one month ?

Fab5 who was looking at Navya a minute before like she is crazy now looked at her as if they were seeing Einstein.

Nandini on the other hand was sweating nervously.

Nandini : Navu wo wo actually

Navya : Yes my love tell me what explanation so you have for this ?

All looked at her with hopes in their eyes. Hopes for Manik, hopes for Manan's togetherness.

Navya saw that Nandini was in mood to avoid her and she showed her eyes.

Navya : don't dare alright, don't dare avoiding my question.

Nandini looked at sleeping Kia and slowly caressed her hair : Yes it's true that I'm not the one who gave her birth. But I'm the one who has raised her. She is my daughter and she'll be always mine. She's the only one who's mine in the world Navu I can't lose her. Just because you guys wanted to know I have uttered these words. I'm not her biological mother. I didn't give her birth.

World spinned for a second for Manik. He was unable to understand that should he be happy for himself or sad for Kia. Same dilemma was haunting Fab5.

They all screamed 'WHAT '

Which made Kia awake.
